Here’s what we think a resume should look like in 2026

The new resume is a public portfolio. It should show real work, in the formats people actually consume today.

Headline

• Helping young professionals do more. With less.

Now

• Building community @ Notion
• Podcasting, Notioning, thinking, dare I say ‘storytelling’ @ LAUNCH

Best work

• “2026 feels like the continuation of a brave new world for Gen Z”
• “I’m moving to New York and joining the Notion team full-time. Here's why this feels like the culmination of five years creating content.” </aside>

<aside> 🧰

Why be part of LAUNCH:

To me, LAUNCH represents an accurate representation of the state of Gen Z today. Specifically, how Gen Z should and can view successful work…at least for now.

Headline

• Connecting the dots between self and society.

Now

• Working a corporate 9-5 and applying to law school

• Musings #14 - Sophia </aside>

Why be part of LAUNCH: Pretty much every single one of my friends thinks that they could be doing more with their lives. We spend hours imagining an alternative, but then invariably go back to the realities we identified as unfulfilling. We think we’re being silly. LAUNCH shows us we’re not alone.

Now

• making content about startups, neuroscience, tech policy, and AI
• building FIG, a new career platform for the new age

Best work

• How to vibecode
• FIG mission statement </aside>

<aside> 🧰

Why be part of LAUNCH: building a platform to help people figure out what to do with their lives has made it apparent how universal feelings of excitement and uncertainty are amongst our generation. LAUNCH is a space for people to be lost and figure it out together.

Headline

• Unpacking the systems that run the world.

Why be part of LAUNCH:

The age-old solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges aren’t working. We need new and innovative ideas, but the traditional pipeline from think tanks to journals are gatekept by power and prestige. Here, we’re charting a new path.
